SELECTSHRED | A MORE THOUGHTFUL APPROACH TO THE PROPER DESTRUCTION AND DISPOSAL OF HARD DRIVES AND NON-PAPER MEDIA

Since the Florida Information Protection Act of 2014 more individuals and businesses are definitely taking action to protect their own personal information and the sensitive information of their customers/clients. The Florida Information Protection Act sets the standards for maintaining and disposing of electronically stored confidential information. Also, it reduced data breach notification times regarding when customers/clients must be notified in the event of a data security breach.

The Florida Information Protection Act as well as the significant fines and negative publicity that affected some major companies due to data security breaches have caused more individuals and businesses to be aware of the consequences of these breaches. The increased awareness has led to the understanding that when data security breaches occur, no one will be absolved of liability if that information is ever retrieved and misused.

We are less likely to hear that someone is willing to hammer, drill or even wipe their hard drives. The requests have been coming in to destroy floppy drives, phones, CDs/DVDs, and other non-paper media. Many have realized that the complete destruction of electronic media is as important as the destruction of their printed media. For hard drives, the physical destruction of the hard drive platters is the only way to ensure complete destruction of the drives and the information that has been recorded on the drives.

More individuals and businesses are removing and destroying their hard drives and the information they contain before they recycle or throw out your their computers. They are less likely to entrust the hard drives to others if they are not sure of the hard drive destruction method to be used. A mobile/on-site NAID AAA Certified hard drive destruction company will use equipment and processes to destroy and dispose of hard drives efficiently, safely, economically, and environmentally responsibly. Ask to witness the hard drive destruction process.

It’s that time of the year again when we reflect on the decisions of the past year and look forward to making changes for a new year. The following are three changes to consider with regard to your document destruction policies:

  1. Am I going to spend another year fighting with the office shredder? You do know that the office shredder provides no record of a compliant document destruction program. Also, office shredders do not provide adequate legal protection in the event of an information security breach. Office shredders are more costly than a third party shredding service due to the cost of wasted staff time, office shredder maintenance, consumables cost, and shredder replacement cost.
  2. Am I 100% satisfied with my current shredding service? If you already have a third party shredding vendor in place, it is time to consider whether you are getting the service you deserve. Is it your wish to have your documents shredded at a remote location or do you want to have the peace of mind in knowing that your documents are shredded securely on-site (at your location)? Are you happy with the reliability of the service? How about the billing, invoicing, and transparency of the service fees?
  3. Am I doing all I can do to safeguard the confidential information in my custody? Your reliance on the office shredder as a credible source of a sound document destruction program could jeopardize your brand image and your reputation. To ensure that you have fulfilled your obligations to protect the confidential information in your custody from its proper retention to its responsible destruction, use a NAID AAA certified company. This will keep you in compliance with federal regulations such as FACTA, GLBA, and HIPAA. Be sure to receive a certificate of destruction for your record at the time of each service.
